Abrégé

Production of three-dimensional products from a mass of pumpable fibrous foodstuff material, for example from ground meat. The mass is fed into a chamber via an inlet. A perforated plate is stationary arranged at an outlet side and has a multitude of perforations therein between an inlet face and an opposed outlet face. A flow channels assembly comprises multiple flow channels, each having a flow channel inlet opening, a flow channel discharge mouth, and a flow channel length. The inlet openings are stationary arranged adjoining the outlet face of the perforated plate, so that each flow channel receives therein strands of fibrous foodstuff material emerging at the outlet face from a subset of the multitude of perforations. The strands merge into a coherent bundle, in which the strands are arranged against one another in a generally parallel orientation. The bundle is confined within the flow channel and passes through the flow channel to the discharge mouth where the bundle is discharged, whilst maintaining the generally parallel orientation of the strands in the bundle. A production device is arranged at the discharge mouths of the flow channels assembly, which production device is configured and operated to produce three-dimensional products, each product out of a portion of a bundle that is discharged from one of the discharge mouths.

Abrégé

A moulding installation and method for moulding food products from a pumpable foodstuff mass. A revolving mould drum is provided with multiple mould cavities and a mass feed member is arranged at a fill position to transfer foodstuff mass into passing mould cavities. Said foodstuff mass forms a food product in said mould cavity. A pressurized air food product ejection system comprises air ducts in the mould drum that extend to said cavities and at least a portion of the surface delimiting a mould cavity is air permeable. Said ejection system further comprises a pressurized air source to feed pressurized air at a regulated ejection air pressure thereof to said air ducts. A controller is adapted to input at least one target parameter related to filling of the mould cavities with said foodstuff mass via said mouth of the mass feed member. The controller is adapted to automatically set an ejection air pressure by said pressurized air source on the basis of the inputted target parameter.

Abrégé

An installation for moulding of three dimensional products from a mass of pumpable foodstuff material, for example from ground meat. The installation comprises a feed pump and a moulding device with a mobile mould member having multiple mould cavities. A mass feed member is arranged at a fill position relative to the path of the mobile mould member, which mass feed member is connected to an outlet of the feed pump. The member has a housing defining an elongated chamber with a longitudinal axis and having a pair of spaced apart long lateral walls, short end walls, and a bottom wall facing the mould member at the fill position along the path of the mould member. The bottom wall is provided with a discharge mouth formed by one or more discharge openings spanning the path of said mould cavities, so that foodstuff mass flows into each row of mould cavities via said discharge mouth. The mass feed member is provided with a single elongated plunger that is slidably received in the chamber, sliding between the lateral walls and the end walls. At least one lateral wall is provided with an introduction mouth formed by one or more introduction openings spanning a major portion of the length of said lateral wall.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a rotary cylindrical mould member and a method for manufacturing a rotary cylindrical mould member for moulding food products suitable for consumption. One or more recessed mould cavities (21) are formed in an curved outer surface (22c) of at least one porous mould body (22), defining the shape of the products which are to be produced. An airflow-resistive skin layer is formed by plastic deformation of a cavity surface layer, having a first flow resistance. An inner volume of the porous mould body (22) between an inner surface (22i) and the airflow-resistive skin layer has a porous structure with a second flow resistance to a compressed air flow through the porous inner volume, wherein according to the invention the first flow resistance is essentially the same as the second flow resistance.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a moulding device and a method for moulding food products from a mass of foodstuff which can be transferred by pumping. The device comprises a stationary frame with a revolving moulding drum assembly having a peripheral surface in which mould cavities are provided, and a mass feed device comprising a shoe member with a filling mouth adjoining the peripheral surface of the moulding drum assembly in order to fill said cavities with the foodstuff as they move past. In operation, the pressurized mass of foodstuff introduced into a mould cavity causes an outward force onto said shoe member. According to the invention a non-revolving component is provided, concentrically supported by the moulding drum assembly, comprising the shoe member and an interconnected moulding drum assembly engaging counterforce element to counteract the entire outward force exerted by the pressurized foodstuff on the shoe member.
